“Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing,” Flynt told Johann Hari of London’s Independent newspaper. “She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable. She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didn’t want to say she’d had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another 12, 15 years? Doesn’t even know it’s in this world. So what kind of compassionate conservative is she? I don’t think anybody will want her near the White House.”
Editor: Need I mention the extreme ignorance these remarks reflect? Down syndrome cannot be detected in the first month. People with Down syndrome are not "its." They are not brain dead. They are self-aware and many live into adulthood.
